futbol? football? no, no, SOCCER!

As I've said before, I am now an official Kawasaki Frontale Fan! And today I went to my 2nd game this month over at Todoroki stadium and today was a beast! Before that... lets look at the last game:

On the 9th meltin faces, mornin and I went across the bridge and settled in to our seats for an afternoon of excitement. We got in a little late and ended up on the far end of the supporters section, the extreme far end and I was a little disappointed with the enthusiasm of the section. Pretty lame, but I was cheering like a maniac anyway. Ended up in a 1-1 draw that I talked about on the last show, but needless to say, it was a disappointment, but it was fun.
-actually checking my own blog now, I realize that I talked about this, oops-

...bringing us to today where mornin and I headed over the bridge to take in a Nabisco Cup game against JEF United Chiba. It was a driving rain storm with wicked wind blowing creating a dismal atmosphere. It was a terrible day to take in a game but also very fun. The final score was a 2-0 loss for us, but hey, it was just a Nabisco Cup game that doesn't count towards the J League standings and so many of the starters weren't playing including our favorite goalie, Kawashima! The crap part of the game was that the Frontale had countless chances in front of the net, put a few over, and around and who knows where, but soooooo many wasted chances! The chemistry of the team is taking a bit of time to work itself out, but if we continue to create these oppotunities I think it looks good for the season to come. We play JEF United again on the 30th in a J League game that I'll be at also, and hopefully we'll see Kawashima, Kengo, and Hulk lace 'em up and we can get our first win of the season. As I said last time, I was a bit underwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the section I sat in last time so this time we set up in the super supporter section and it was a serious workout. Lots of jumping and singing. I'm torn as to where to sit next time though... I like the singing and jumping, but it's a bit different than baseball in that there's no breaks! No time to drink and a bit hard to pay attention to the game as much as I'd like to... We'll see where I line up next game.
